Orphaned Lab Results

The Orphaned Lab Results section of the Dashboard displays test and diagnostic results from lab integrations that are not linked to a patient.

There are separate steps to link the results to the correct patient chart based on which integration your practice uses.

Tips for Assigning Dental Radiology Results

• Every dental radiograph taken will become an orphaned lab result. Only link one of the results to the patient.

• Delete duplicate results that are associated with the same patient.

• We recommend reviewing each lab to confirm each result is associated with the correct patient.
